vILAs's UNMANLY ACT.
An Ex-RebeI's Influence in the Post
office Department.

Postmaster General Villas did something
the other day which will not show up in
bright eolors when he comes to deliver an
other Grafton ON General Grant But if the
Old Commander were alive it is pretty GER
tain that not even member of a Conleder-
ate Democratic Administration would have
taken the responsibility of degrading in Of
fee a woman whom General Grant commend
ed to his country's gratitude. This is Miss
Van Lew. Virginia lady, who has been EN-
ployed in the Post Office Department for
years and who was the other day, with the
approval of the Postmaster General, cut
down from 81, 200 to 500 year. During the
war Miss Van Lew was loyal Nirginian,
who In hostile surroundings interested her
self actively in the Union cause. At the
frequent risk OF her own life she gained val
liable information, which was laid before
General Grant. In official documents and In
other ways the General bore testimony 10
her devotion and her services. After the
war ended he had her appointed Postmis-
tress at Richmond. and she had charge Of the
post office for eight years. Then General
Grant got Miss Van Lew place in the Post
Office Department at Washington where the
work was easy and In which he believed she
would pass the remainder Of her days. IL Is
possible that Miss Van Lew, who Is growing
two past, but it was not supposed she would
ever be intefered with, as no one thought the
country would begrudge a woman with her
history 81, 200 year. But it happens that
the Chief Of the Stamp Department In
which she worked, Is an ex-rebel named
Howard. When the war broke out Howard
had just graduated from the Naval Academy
at Annapolis. Having got an education at
the expense of the government, he at once
resigned and entered the rebel navy. This
was all that was heard of him until he float
ed into Office under Mr.. Cleveland. The
presence of Miss Van Lew seems 10 have
wounded his sensibility deeply, and he has
left no stone unturned TO gain her discharge.
While not entirely succeeding he has virtu-
ally triumphed, as the change made Is equiv
alent to dismissal Some Of Miss Van
Lewis friends said a few nights ago that she
had better resign at once, as the intention Is
to force her out of the means Of earning q
living. But 1t Is not known that she can af-
ford to give up even the 500 a year which a
grateful Democratic Administration allows
her TO draw for while longer. It Will hard
ly be claimed on behalf of Postmaster Gener-
al Villas that he knew nothing of the matter,
for the circumstances are perfectly well
known to every one connected with the Post
Office Department.; and it is to be said for
Miss Van Lew that she is as competent as
dozens of able bodied SOutherners who are
drawing bigger pay in the Post Office De.
partment for nothing beyond showing their
Incompetence: just before Frank Hatton
went out OF Office some one wanted to have
Miss van Lewis position taken away from
her. Hatton declined, saying he would

A Speech by the earl OF Aberdeen at

Americans and other citizens last night sat
down to a banquet rendered the Earl of
Aberdeen, late Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,

among the Irishmen present were lawyers,
judges, men controlling railroads and the
best business interests of the country, repre-
sentatives of millions of dollars of capital
The Earl, replying, declared that such a
demonstration had peculiar significance at
the present juncture in promoting the sue
cess of the cause of home rule. ave must
recognize" said he, ''the fact that the speedy
passage of the home rule bin depends on the
votes of British electors. do not speak of
whether home rule is coming, but when it
will be, when the British public is disabused
OF its misapprehensions as to the expecta-
ton OF the advocates of home rule | see the
Marquis of harrington states that the
Unionists have lately been increased and
strengthened. If this strength comes from
the Conservatives, it is of live consequence,
but recent elections show it does not come

factor IN making an easy reconciliation"

The Mishap to the shamrook,

New YORK, July 8.-Mr. Maxwell, the
owner of the yacht Shamrock, in an inter
view, today, explained the mishap to her dur
ing the race with the Titania yesterday. He
said the whole trouble came from the fact
that the Shamrock's mast was too light. The
mast is Of white pine, and / think it was
sprung about the rounds of the rigging in
the Larchmont race: There was good sea
on yesterday, and after the topmast broke |
momentarily expected to see the mainmast
split. The breaking of the topmast resulted
from the recoil Of the yacht at every jump Of
the sea. Mr.. Maxwell said he would not
make another match with the Titania, as the
two yachts would meet number of times
before the season ends.

McGlynn is not eXeommuncated, and can
